Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Victoria's family in Cape Coast
A divorce left Victoria short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in April, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $600.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, we must leave.
I have two young children at home. Moving isn't just an expense - it would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
I have started working two part-time jobs, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $600 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $135
• Rent arrears (3 months): $460
• Utilities in arrears: $5
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Thank you all. We're at 23% now ($138). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($38 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Victoria
6% there. the plan for first month of rent as a buffer is now scheduled. Thank you.

Sending strength. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 12 people at work. Thinking of Cape Coast
Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
Praying for you, Victoria. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Khulna!
a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. All the best!
good luck, Victoria. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
Rooting for you, Victoria. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I hope August is when things finally get easier.
best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
Praying for you, Victoria. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 23 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Jakarta Selatan.
Take care, Victoria. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best
Rooting for you, Victoria. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Cape Coast.
